Luke doesn’t completely believe Holden’s story and is disappointed in his father even though he tells Holden he could never forgive Damian for all the things he has done to hurt his family. Luke asks Margo if he can have a copy of the coroner’s report because this situation reminds him of when Holden was missing and thought to be dead and he thinks maybe if he read the report it would make Damian’s death real to him.

Reid tells Luke that he would be stupid not to let a world-renowned neurosurgeon help him. Luke gives him the photos and after Reid looks at them he says Damian died from blunt force trauma to the head but he would have died anyway because he had stage 4 Huntington’s disease that is a degenerative disease that eventually shuts down the entire body.
